Today, we take a moment to recognize and celebrate each of you for the incredible work you do every single day. Your patience, dedication, flexibility, and compassion do not go unnoticed. You are often the steady support, the calming presence, and the extra encouragement our students need to succeed.
The impact you make reaches far beyond the classroom. Whether you are assisting with instruction, supporting behavior, building relationships, or simply being there when a student needs you most—you are making a difference.
Thank you for your commitment to our students and for being such an essential part of our school family. We truly appreciate all that you do, and we are grateful to have such an amazing team.
Enjoy your day, Ms. James, Mr. Lucy, Mrs. Glenn, Ms., Streeter, Coach Priince, and Ms. Evans—you deserve it!

Our students have been working hard all year, and now it’s time for them to show what they know. Together, let’s continue to support them as they soar high and make their mark on this year’s test!

There will be no school for students on Friday, March 13th, and Monday, March 16th. One of these days will be a virtual learning day. The other will be a teacher work day.
Students will return to school on Tuesday, March 17, which marks the start of the 4th quarter.
Thank you!
Students are required across the entire district to have a clear bookbag every day. I have already stopped at least 20 students to enforce this rule. If your student needs a new clear bookbag, they are available for purchase in the office for $10. Also, the shoe policy has not changed. Students must wear ALL black shoes. We have seen students wearing white, yellow, and other colors, which are not permitted. Morningside's uniform policy remains the same.
Let’s continue setting the example for our students so they can grow into responsible, rule-following adults.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Read Across America Week is coming soon — March 2–6, 2026!

We are also asking for volunteers to come in and read to our Soaring Eagles. If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know. We look forward to a fun and engaging week of reading!
We will host our Wax Museum on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. Please view the attached flyer for designated class times and the parent/family viewing time.
We look forward to seeing you there!
